Artifact Title: Music History Transcript
Artifact Type: Official College Transcript proving experience in the subject of Music History.
Rationale for Inclusion: This transcript documents my ability to identify and analyze representative musical forms, styles, performance contexts, performance media, and composers and compositions of western music, and describe the musical traditions, contexts and characteristics of diverse and representative world cultures.
During my time as an Undergrad at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, I was required to attend classes in Music History. These classes covered the periods of Antiquity to 1750 (this included the Baroque Period), the Classical Period, the Romantic Period, and the Contemporary Period. Antiquity, Classical, and Romantic primarily covered the history of Western classical music. However, Contemporary expanded that spectrum to include modern avant garde music, rock music, as well as music from other world cultures. It is my hope that I can use the knowledge gained in these classes to enrich my own methods of teaching in order to provide my students with a more meaningful and in depth musical experience.
